ACCESSORIES WARNING
Invacare products are specifically designed and manufactured for use in conjunction with Invacare
accessories. Accessories designed by other manufacturers have not been tested by Invacare and
are not recommended for use with Invacare products.
INSTALLATION WARNING
After any adjustments, repair or service and before use, make sure that all attaching component
parts are secure.
DO NOT install the Matrx PB assembly onto back canes with an outside diameter greater than 1-
inch (25 mm) or less than 3/4-inch (19 mm). Otherwise, injury or damage may occur.
The mounting position of the Matrx PB is directly related to the chair's stability. When the Matrx
PB is added to a TILT and/or RECLINING chair, it may cause a decrease in the chair's stability. It
may be necessary to reposition the FRONT CASTERS, REAR WHEELS, BACK ANGLE, TILT-IN-
SPACE, RECLINE POSITION and/or SEAT DEPTH before use. Use extreme caution when using
a new seating position.
When the Matrx PB is added to a TILT and/or RECLINING wheelchair, a RIGIDIZER BAR or
CROSSBAR must be present to stabilize the back canes.
Ensure the Matrx PB is properly secured to the wheelchair before using. Otherwise injury or
damage may occur.
WARNING
Skin condition should be checked very frequently after the installation of any new seating system.
Your therapist and physician should be consulted if you have any questions regarding individual
limitations and needs.
Working with your therapist, physician, and equipment supplier is the best way to assure that a
seating choice matches your individual needs.
As the needs of the individual become more complex, the seating evaluation becomes more
important.
